Core Event – Release of the Edgerunners 2 Update (2.5)

CD Projekt RED announced that the 2.5 update for Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on October 22, 2026. The update, titled the Edgerunners 2 Update, is rolling out to PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and will arrive later on Nintendo Switch 2. It adds a new questline, dual-wield combat, expanded customization, and cross-platform mod support.

Background & Context

The update ties to the second season of the Netflix anime “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2,” which premiered on October 20. New characters such as Weak Kingsley appear in a pre-quel side quest, giving players narrative context before watching the show.

New Content and Gameplay Additions

  • Questline: The side quest Clampdown unlocks after completing *The Heist* and two gigs for Wakako, then waiting for her message. It takes place in Night City Prison and serves as a pre-quel to the anime.
  • Gear & Cosmetics: Equip Weak’s full outfit and his revolver Coronation. Five new outfit sets from vendors (Maxiwear, Jinguji, NetWatch, IconAmerica, NUS Infiltrator) and 20 new hairstyles are added.
  • Dual Wielding: The Double Trouble perk in the Cool tree enables dual-wield pistols or revolvers, a combat style not seen since the 2.0 throwing-knife update.
  • Cyberware Styling: Five “Glamdoc” vendors let players recolor and reskin cyberware (Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, etc.) with 40 style options.
  • Radio & Audio: New station HKGN 102.0 FM streams tracks from both Edgerunners seasons.

Cross-Platform Mod Support and Xbox Play Anywhere

Xbox detailed integration of mod.io directly into the game, allowing players to browse and install community mods without leaving Night City. The update also introduces Xbox Play Anywhere: a single purchase grants access on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and compatible handhelds such as the Xbox Ally via cloud gaming, with progress syncing across platforms.
